I have no problem with kids, people with a medical condition, or for that matter any decent / responsible individual shooting a crossbow.

I'm from Ohio and personally know people that shoot crossbows. All of the guys that I personally know that use them would have nothing to do with archery if it weren't for the xbow. They would stick to Muzzle Loader and Gun season exclusively, which would be fine with me. Don't get me wrong I really don't have a problem with the weapon itself, but rather the behavior it promotes. The behavior I'm talking about is the "I just dusted her off this morning, hope she’s' still sighted in from last year" or the "Were gonna sit in camp and get drunk then go out and shoot us a deer." or the " I don't know why you guys wasted all your time practicing with those compounds all year when you could just get one of these."

I'm not saying every crossbow hunter is like this, but the guys I know that shoot them are. And I'm not saying that their idiot proof simple to shoot (I don't know I've never shot one) I'm just saying I think the people that I know that use them are in it for the wrong reasons and I would rather not put up with them.
